Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low, a Malaysian financier alleged to have siphoned off billions of dollars from 1MDB, the Malaysian development fund, is a fugitive from justice, whose Malaysian passport was cancelled. How is he still at large, you ask ? Simple, he has a CBI (Citizenship by Investment) passport from St Kitts & Nevis, one of a long list of accused criminals who possess SKN CBI passports, and use them to evade justice elsewhere.

Low is alleged to have stolen $700m from the 1MDB, which he had access to; he is on the run, and has reportedly been seen in Mainland China, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau. Malaysian authorities believe he will eventually end up in St Kitts, as have a number of major white-collar criminals, who have sought refuge there. All you need is deep pockets and that prized CBI passport. If the government of St Kitts was wondering why visa restrictions, imposed by the US & Canada are not being lifted, this case should serve as a reminder.
